6 Reasons This City In Nebraska Was Named One Of The Top Places To Visit In 2017

We who live in Nebraska know what a fantastic place it is. And although we’re ok with you not moving here, we do want you to know what a great vacation you can have in Nebraska. The travel experts at Lonely Planet agree with us and named Lincoln as one of the best places to visit in the US in 2017 – it’s #3 out of 10, in fact. That’s pretty darn impressive. The following are the six essential experiences they say every visitor must have during their stay.

Lincoln's restaurant scene has earned a well-deserved reputation for being varied and sophisticated. Whether you're looking for classic American food with a twist - like what you'll find at bread&cup, pictured above - or authentic Vietnamese fare, Lincoln's got you covered.

Our gorgeous capitol building got a mention, as The National Museum of Roller Skating and the International Quilt Museum. May we also recommend Morrill Hall, the Sunken Gardens, Pioneers Park, and the Lincoln Children's Zoo?

The magnificent MoPac Trail of course earned a mention, but so did another Lincoln event that not everyone knows about: the Lincoln Hustle. On the final Thursday of every month, cycling enthusiasts get together to have fun and be silly. Check their site for more information.

...and enjoy the youthful energy that permeates this lively college town. Lincoln has such a diverse population thanks to UNL, and that has contributed to a unique environment that you won't find anywhere else in Nebraska.
